Answer :
Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways
Step-by-step explanation:
When the selection has to be made without considering the order of selection, combinations are used.
The formula for combination is:
[tex]C(n,r) = \frac{n!}{r!(n-r)!}[/tex]
Here
Total candies = n = 13
Candies to be selected = r = 5
Putting the values in the formula
[tex]C(13,5) = \frac{13!}{5!(13-5)!}\\=\frac{13!}{5!8!}\\=1287\ ways[/tex]
Five pieces can be selected in 1287 ways
